1t gives us pleasure to state that a new
bridge has been put In the sidewalk fronting
| Winkier's 5ewelry store. The marshal sum
moned his aids last Wednesday morning and
10 short time-before the item In our last
issue calling attention to It had been printed
the crossing was neatly renovated and
made secure for pedestrians.
| Last Thursday three men-ali drunk and
quarreling-left Mine La Motto late in the
afternoon, going north on the LibertyvilIe
road. These three men were John McCarv-
| er, George Stone and Abe Gordon. Stone
and McCarYer rode In the latter's buggy,
while Gordon rode Stones horse. Stone
was found dead by the roadside next morn
Ing, with bullet in the back of his head.
The other two men are under arrest.
Judge Emerson left for Colorado last Sat-
| urday. He halted long enough in Kansas
City to take a bird's-eye view Of that thirty
ing village and drop ius few lines there
aneut, which we give to our readers. He
| will be absent several weeks, attending
| somewhat to his own business, while assist
ing some other people in attending to theirs.
Happy the lot Of lawyer, who gets paid for
that sort o. thing.
An cat Home," received last Thursday,
advises us that William F. Wykes, Jr., was
married to Miss Alice NJ. Simpson, at st.
Louis, NO., on Wednesday, October, 5th,
1887. Notice thereof Is made elsewhere, but
to this we desire to add our best wishes to the
happy bride and groom, the former of whom
is so well and favorably known to the VAL
iegians. May their days be long in the land,
and their lives blessed p all things, is the
prayer of the REGISTER. :

An article relative to the trial and acquittal
of Charles Downs, for the killing of Peter
Prough, was misplaced last week, and its
omission was not discovered until too late.
The evidence was all in and the speechifying
concluded at about six O'Clock Wednesday
evening. The jury retired, and in less than
an hour returned with verdict of "not
guilty." The result gave general satisfaction,
and we think that justice has not suffered.
There is no one who believes that the blow
which killed Prough was given with any such
intent, but only to protect q son whom the
defendant believed to be In imminent
danger. 1t was q most unfortunate affair,
now happily ended, so far, at least, as the
public Is concerned.
